The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

IN REVISIONE. Kyla ha sempre avuto una vita ordinaria, niente di nuovo. Sempre i soliti quattro amici, esce una sola volta a settimana, a detta di tutti: una palla. Ed è proprio quando sua madre le dice che devono trasferirsi a causa di un lavoro, che la sua vita cambierà completamente. Alexander non è proprio la persona più cordiale che possiate incontrare. Non si fida di nessuno, ha un passato troppo doloroso per farlo. Quindi perché dovrebbe lasciare campo libero a una nuova ragazzina che entra a gamba tesa in casa sua? Entrambi sono il fuoco, e quando questo elemento si incontra con un suo simile, non può far altro che diventare più potente. Ma non sempre è un bene. E vista la monotonia della vita di Kyla, e il ghiaccio di Alexander e i suoi fratelli, chi l'avrebbe mai detto che i figli dei proprietari dell'azienda dove lavora sua madre saranno proprio quelli che le renderanno la vita un dolce inferno?

buongiorno vita, passo avanti.

A loner with a bad attitude and a misplaced princess are forced to work together to free themselves from a hitchstone, a magical jail cell powerful enough to trap an entire town. Mila Wilde had no idea what she was getting herself into when she decided to take a peek inside of a strange metal box. Or maybe she did- she can't remember. Either way, it's a decision that she can't take back. Without her memories, Mila has no choice but to place her trust in Noelani, a spoiled princess from a faraway land. A task easier said than done. Between practicing her newfound magic and figuring out her complicated past, Mila finds that she is quite reluctant to leave the princess's side. Even if that means forgetting about the family she's been trying to locate since she was twelve. Blood is thicker than water. At least that's what her mother taught her- but Mila isn't so sure about that anymore. Not when her mother is against the only thing that has ever made her feel powerful. And the only person that Mila would ever trust with her life. Maybe it's time for a new lesson. Sometimes broken things can't be mended. Mila can feel it in her blood.
